Steel Oval Bezel Ring Sizing Mandrel, 10.75 Inch, 3-10mm, Jewellery Making Forming Tool
For jewellers forming oval bezels, this steel mandrel is the correct tool for maintaining accurate geometry. It provides a continuous oval taper from 3–10mm, preventing the distortion that occurs when trying to adapt a standard round mandrel for oval work, ensuring a proper stone fit.
Key features
- Steel construction provides a hard, durable surface for forming non-ferrous metals.
- Continuous oval taper from 3mm to 10mm covers a common range of small-to-medium stone sizes.
- Maintains true oval geometry, unlike round mandrels which can distort bezel walls during shaping.
- Smooth, unmarked working surface prevents marring of precious metals during forming.
- Features a non-slip handle for a secure grip whilst working at the bench.
Who it's for
An essential forming tool for UK bench jewellers, jewellery students, and stone setters who regularly fabricate or repair oval bezel settings. It is designed for those who realise the importance of using a dedicated, shape-specific mandrel for accurate work.
